The Butlerian Jihad (Dune Series) by

Review: Read only if you are just dying to know how the war against the
"thinking machines" went. Exceptionally bloody. Not the best of the series by
any stretch of the imagination.
On Deck:
The Dollar Crisis by Richard Duncan,
copyrighted 2003.
Review by Payam Eshraghian: "The
best prediction of what is about to hit the US as you're going to get in the
English language. There is also "Conquer the Crash" by Robert Prechter,
Jr., and "Financial Reckoning Day" by William Bonner. All three
converge on sending dire warnings about the unsustainability of our
deficits, and about foreign creditors losing faith in the US."
If you are feeling too happy, here is a book series
guaranteed to make you depressed, well at least if you are citizen of the
industrialized world.
